Article Synopsis
- Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in construction are caused by ergonomic risks from manual labor, poor postures, and repetitive motions, leading to lower productivity and high costs.
- A new monocular 3D multi-person pose estimation method aims to improve ergonomic assessments by accurately analyzing workers' postures, especially detecting extreme knee flexion, a key indicator of WMSDs.
- A pilot study showed this method's effectiveness on-site, aligning detection rates with supervisory and self-reported data, highlighting its potential for timely interventions and future enhancements in worker health monitoring.
